Save up to 15% on Dublin Bus with Leap Card

Public transport users in Dublin are reminded that using a Leap card is up to 18% cheaper than paying for cash single tickets.

Leap Card users save up to 15% on Dublin Bus, 17% on Luas and 18% on DART and Commuter Rail when compared to cash single tickets.

Gerry Murphy, CEO of the National Transport Authority said: “The Leap Card scheme has seen dramatic growth since its launch 18 months ago, with over 250,000 people getting a card. We’re now reminding those people still paying for cash single and return tickets to get their Leap Card to benefit from cheaper fares.”

The National Transport Authority will continue to develop the Leap Card further by increasing the flexibility of the system with new features such as auto top-up and fare capping as well as through partnership with more commercial bus operators.
